Publisher 2003 is a comprehensive solution for creating and publishing a wide variety of publications for
desktop printing, commercial printing, e-mail distribution, or for viewing on the Web.
Create a comprehensive selection of business publications using new Web site wizards, such as the Easy Web Site Builder, and e-mail wizards, like the e-mail newsletter.
Or, create print publications, including brochures, newsletters, postcards, CD/DVD labels, and other publications.
- Create personal publications using an expanded collection of templates, including personal
stationery sets and professionally designed greeting cards and invitations.
- Automatically create a publication that merges pictures and text from a data source
(like Microsoft Office Excel or Microsoft Office Access) with Catalog Merge, to create anything
from a datasheet to a sophisticated catalog.
- Work more flexibly with a commercial printer for higher quality and larger quantity print jobs,
with new support for CMYK Composite PostScript.
- Make the most of the time you invested in your work by publishing a single publication in multiple ways --
output to your desktop printer, take it to a commercial printer, save it to the Web, or send it
either as rich e-mail or a san e-mail attachment.
Professional Design, Done In-house
Publisher 2003 provides all the help you need for professional results-start from professionally designed
templates that you can customize with Color Schemes, Font Schemes, various layout options, or your own design
sense. Or, start from blank publications and get creative with sophisticated typography and page layout tools.
- Carry a consistent identity across all your business communication materials, when you select from 10 new
Master Design Sets (for a total of 45). Master Design Sets are sets of commonly used business publications
(newsletters, postcards, flyers, Web sites, e-mail announcements, and other publications), each with its own design.
- Identify unintended printing and Web site problems and get help fixing them using the enhanced Design Checker.
- Enjoy increased control over your publication with improved Layout Guides, Baseline Alignment and Baseline Guides,
the Page Sorter, and support for multiple Master Pages.
- Benefit from increased flexibility during the planning and layout phase. You can insert empty picture frames
as placeholders before you've selected final imagery for your publication.
- Expand your collection of Publisher templates. The new Downloadable Templates category lets you download
and save new Publisher templates within the New Publication Task Pane. Get additional templates and images online
from the Microsoft Template Gallery.
Work Smarter and Easier with Familiar Office Tools
Work productively across Microsoft Office System programs. Publisher 2003 looks and works more like other programs
in the Office System, making it easier than ever to use the right Office tool for the right task, while still
leveraging your knowledge and experience with the Office System. New features include:
- Paragraph-formatting consistency with Microsoft Office Word 2003, including indents and spacing, and line and paragraph breaks.
- New Bullets and Numbering menu item.
- Find and Replace across stories and text boxes.
- Backward compatibility for easier file-sharing lets you open Publisher 2003 files directly in Publisher 2002.
